Voice-Over/Narration

“Leishman, a master of her art, has a beautiful voice, beautiful diction and a fine ear for tones… you’ll find this audio a treat.”
(KLIATT)

Leishman’s first audio book was Female Sleuths, recorded in San Francisco back in 1993, and since moving to New York she has become a favourite reader for Recorded Books Inc.

“When audio book listeners hear narrator Virginia Leishman, they are hearing a voice tempered by years of musical training and experience. Bringing her considerable experience to the audio book studio, Virginia has narrated a wide range of literature, from classics to children’s books, garnering numerous awards.”
